This Season So Far
The 2024-25 season has not started. The empty row above is his, and both it and this paragraph fill in on their own from the morning after he first plays: what he has done, what it is worth against his own last season, and the run he is on when the two disagree.
Last Season
68 games, 2 goals and 15 assists for 17 points, 12 penalty minutes, 19:06 a night and plus-12 — the best figure on the club. He took 50.9 per cent of the expected goals at five-on-five over 1,159 minutes, the 60th percentile, and his ice went 52-37 against an expectation of 47.31-45.65.
Five goals of finishing above what the chances were worth and almost nine goals of goaltending above them. The plus-12 is a crease and a set of forwards as much as it is him, and it is still the best number on the club.
The Finesse Game
118 attempts at a median of 49 feet with 61 per cent of them from beyond forty and 13 per cent from inside twenty, 69 of those on goal, converted at 2.9 per cent against a career 3.30 across 273 shots.
Fifty-eight career assists against 9 goals in 228 games. There is almost no shot here — a career 3.30 per cent across five seasons — and the value is in getting the puck to somebody who has one; 30 assists two seasons ago is the ceiling of that.
The Physical Game
He is 6-2 and 201 and took 12 penalty minutes in 68 games.
119 career penalty minutes in 228 games. Twelve minutes across sixty-eight games at nineteen minutes a night is a very clean line for a defenceman; he defends by position and gets his stick on the puck rather than the man.
The Intangibles
Sixteenth overall in 2017 by Calgary, five seasons, and Utah is his second organisation.
A career minus-2 in 228 games. He was a first-round pick who played 82 games in his first three seasons put together and has played 146 in the two since.
What kind of player
The searchable half of the report. The first group is computed from the season's own data; the rest are read out of the prose above, and each one carries the sentence that produced it. A subject the report never raised is simply absent.

Each computed tag also says how well its measure holds up from one season to the next, because a tag describes a season that has finished and a reader will assume it predicts the one coming. Some do and some do not, and the gap is wide: five-on-five workload repeats well, scoring late does not repeat at all.

The eye and the numbers
HindsightThe two rank him within 2 points of one another. It was written for a back edition, with the seasons that followed already known. Neither the agreement nor the gap says anything about the eye, and this report is excluded from the club-level comparison for the same reason.
Both bars are percentiles among the 652 skaters in this edition with a report and enough ice time. The report bar ranks the mean of the grades above — 72 on their own scale — against every other report's mean. The numbers bar ranks his share of expected goals. A gap is a disagreement about where he belongs, not two scales talking past each other.

A top speed is a season's best, and a man who takes more shifts gets more tries at one; the percentile is the feed's own, against every skater, and says less between a top-pair defenceman and a fourth-line wing than it does between two men in the same job. The counts are shown per game for the same reason.
Usual linemates
2023-24 with ARI · 1159 minutes at five-on-five
Share of his five-on-five ice time spent alongside each player, measured from shift charts. Special teams are excluded: a power-play unit is not a line.
Why the numbers land there
Five-on-five, 2023-24
- The club
- ARI took 48.9% of the expected goals as a club. His own share is 50.9% — 2.0 above the club he did it on.
- The role
- Second pair, 1,159 minutes at five-on-five — 79th percentile in ice time.
With and without
| Teammate | Together | Him apart | Mate apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Kesselring | 48.4% | 52.5% | 51.2% |
| Nick Schmaltz | 53.8% | 49.4% | 47.4% |
| Clayton Keller | 51.2% | 50.8% | 49.0% |
48.4% together, 52.5% for him apart and 51.2% for Kesselring apart. He was better away from Kesselring, who was no worse away from him — the pairing cost him more than it cost Kesselring.
Expected-goal share while both were on the ice, and for each man in the minutes he played without the other. Apart is the pair subtracted from his own totals. It does not settle who was carrying whom — apart from each other, both were still playing with somebody — but it does say whether the share travelled when the pairing broke up.
Where he shoots from
goal on goal missed
118 unblocked shots in 2023-24, 2 of them goals. His median goal came from 56 feet. 13% of his shots came from inside twenty feet, 61% from beyond forty.
